Vegan Cinnamon Buns
Ingredients
- 3/4 cups rice or soy milk
- 1/4 cup vegan margarine, softened
- 3 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 (.25 ounce package of instant yeast)
- 1/4 cup organic cane sugar
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 cup water
- Egg substitute (enough for 1 egg)
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup vegan margarine, softened
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles. Remove from heat. Mix in 1/4 cup margarine, stir until completely melted. Let cool until lukewarm.
- Combine 2 1/4 cups flour, yeast, organic cane sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl; mix well.
- Add water, egg substitute and the milk to the mixture; beat well. Add the remaining flour, a little bit at a time. Stir well as you're adding the flour.
- When the dough has pulled together, turn it onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth (roughly 4-6 minutes)
- Cover the dough with a clean damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 cup softened vegan margarine.
- Roll out dough into a 12" x 9" rectangle. Spread dough with margarine/cinnamon/brown sugar mixture. Sprinkle with raisins (if you like your buns with raisins). Roll up dough and pinch the seam to seal.
- Cut into 12 equal sized rolls and place cup side up in a large, shallow, lightly greased, casserole dish. Cover with damp cloth and let rise until doubled (about 30 minutes). Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until browned.
- Remove from pan to cool on wire racks.
- Best if served warm.
